How it feels

A short film where most of the story happens outside the frame. People react to unseen events with very little dialogue. It suggests a strange and possibly darker world just beyond what the viewer sees.

What happens

Oh What a Wonderful Feeling is a Canadian short drama film, directed by François Jaros and released in 2016. The film, an experimental drama described by Jaros as one in which he wanted "to have the narrative just outside of the frame; to suggest that there’s a bigger world, a bigger thing and something maybe meaner, more strange happening", largely depicts actions driven by offscreen events and features very little spoken dialogue. The film's cast includes Patrice Beauchesne, Frédérike Bédard, Ellen David, Dany Gange, Catherine Hughes, Tania Kontoyanni, François Lambert, Dominique Laurence, Marguerite Laurence, Louis Negin, Sarah Pellerin, Karelle Tremblay and Zachary Tremblay.
